Re: Chicken search. The hatcheries won't send less than 25 chicks, too many to pack up and evacuate for the bi annual town tornado siren drill. They seem to be seasonal and harder to find at different times of the year. We have an Amish Farmer's Market in the country that occasionally sell 1 or 2 chickens, but some times there aren't any available. Spring is the best shot for a chicken quest. I'll keep it on the back burner for now, the thought not the chickens :)
